The Comeback Cassette

Chair

Chair

Made entirely out of cassette tapes, the classic school chair gets graphic with the medium’s type, color, and texture. This piece and the lamps (in the next slide) are a part of a collection called “Cassette is Not Dead” by Spanish architect and designer, Vanesa Moreno; her tribute as she says, "to music tapes, which kept us company all through the ’80s and became a symbol of a generation."

Jazz up a room with these radiant cassette tape lamps from ooomydesign. Each recycled tape is fastened together by plastic zip ties to create the encased light fixture. It comes in three sizes: a small rectangular lamp ($50), a box lamp ($106) or a floor lamp ($198).
